You guys have me half convinced to go with a contract or hybrid saw. I was not really considering them because a) I thought I could not afford one, and b) I do not have the space for one. You have shown me that there are good models in my price range, but I am still worried about space.
My current saw is about 36"x24"x36" (WxDxH) and the portable saws can fold up to about this same size and (even better) be stored under my workbench. How small can the contractor and hybrid saws be quickly broken down to for storage?
